B.    The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for the Loans and that the Lenders set forth onSchedule 1.01(a) hereto holding TermA-2 Commitments (the “TermA-2 Lenders”), make loans hereunder as additional term loans (the “TermA-2 Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $198,750,000 to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined below).

C.    Each TermA-2 Lender is willing to make TermA-2 Loans to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date on the terms set forth in Section 2 herein and in the Loan Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth herein and to become, if not already, a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Agreement and to bound by all of the terms and condition thereof and of the Loan Documents.

D.    The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto desire to amend the Loan Agreement to modify certain provisions thereof.

AGREEMENT:

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other valuable consideration, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, each capitalized term used in this Amendment and not defined herein shall be defined in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

Section 2.TermA-2 Loans.

2.1    Each TermA-2 Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make the TermA-2 Loans to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such TermA-2 Lender’s name onSchedule 1.01(a) hereto as its TermA-2 Loan Commitment. The TermA-2 Loans will be added to and shall be deemed to be part of the same class as the TermA-1 Loans (as defined below). Amounts borrowed under thisSection 2.1 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. On the First Amendment Effective Date, simultaneously with the making of the TermA-2 Loans, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions ofSection 2.20 orSection 10.04 of the Credit Agreement (but which provisions shall remain applicable following such exchange)) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Term Loans such that each such Lender shall hold the interest in the Term Loans set forth opposite such Lender’s name onSchedule 1.01(a) hereto as its Total Term Loans (the “Exchange”), and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take all actions and make all payments required in order to effect the Exchange.

2.2    Each TermA-2 Lender that is not, prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, a Lender under the Loan Agreement, hereby agrees that upon, and subject to, the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date, such TermA-2 Lender shall be deemed to be, and shall become, a “Lender” for all purposes of, and subject to all the obligations of a “Lender” under, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.3    Interest. Interest on the TermA-2 Loans shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.13 of the Loan Agreement.

2.4    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the TermA-2 Loans shall be used for the payment of fees in connection with the closing of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby and for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the repayment, prepayment or paydown of other Indebtedness; provided, that the proceeds of the TermA-2 Loans shall not be used for any purpose which violates any of the Regulations of the Board (including Regulations T, U and X), or in a manner that would violate Section 3.12 of the Loan Agreement.

2.5    Termination. The commitments of the TermA-2 Lenders pursuant toSection 2.1 of this Amendment shall terminate immediately after the making of the TermA-2 Loans to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date.

2.6    Prepayment; Maturity. The TermA-2 Loans shall be subject to the same optional prepayment provisions as the TermA-1 Loans. The maturity date for the TermA-2 Loans shall be the Maturity Date (as defined herein), which date shall be the same Maturity Date applicable to the TermA-1 Loans. On such Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the TermA-1 Loans and TermA-2 Loans.

2.7    Terms of the TermA-2 Loans Generally.Except as expressly provided herein (including, without limitation, the use of proceeds), the TermA-2 Loans shall have identical terms as the TermA-1 Loans and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions, including any provisions restricting the rights, or regarding the obligations, of the Loan Parties or any provisions regarding the rights of the Lenders, of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Immediately upon the incurrence of the TermA-2 Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date, the TermA-2 Loans shall constitute a single class of Term Loans with the TermA-1 Loans (and shall be fully fungible with the existing TermA-1 Loans) and shall constitute “TermA-1 Loans” for all purposes under, and subject to the provisions of, the Loan Documents. Each reference to a “Loan”, “Loans”, “Term Loan”, or “Term Loans” in the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include both the TermA-1 Loans and the TermA-2 Loans and all other related terms will have correlative meaningsmutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, the TermA-2 Loans shall rankpari passu with the other Obligations, and the TermA-2 Loans shall be guaranteed on apari passu basis with the other Obligations.

Section 3.Amendments to the Loan Agreement.

3.1    Section 1.01 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to delete the definitions of “Commitment,” “Federal Funds Effective Rate” and “Maturity Date” in their entirety and insert the following in place thereof in appropriate alphabetical order:

-3-

3.3    Section 2.01 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 2.01    Commitments.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each TermA-1 Lender made Loans to the Borrower on the Closing Date (the “TermA-1 Loans”) in Dollars in the principal amount of its TermA-1 Loan Commitment as of the Closing Date. Immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, TermA-1 Loans remained outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $310,000,000, as set forth for each TermA-1 Lender on Schedule 1.01(a) as in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date. After giving effect to the Exchange (as defined in the First Amendment) on the First Amendment Effective Date, TermA-1 Loans remain outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $301,250,000. Any portion of the TermA-1 Loans that is repaid may not be reborrowed.

(b)     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each TermA-2 Lender agrees to make TermA-2 Loans to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date (the “TermA-2 Loans”) in Dollars and in the principal amount requested by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03 so long as such requested amount does not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the TermA-2 Loans made by such Lender exceeding its TermA-2 Loan Commitment or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all TermA-2 Loans made by the Lenders exceeding the total TermA-2 Loan Commitments. The TermA-2 Loans may only be incurred on the First Amendment Effective Date, and any portion of the TermA-2 Loans that is repaid may not be reborrowed.

3.4    Section 2.14 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding “(a)” immediately prior to the beginning of Section 2.14,re-labeling the existing clauses “(a)” and “(b)” therein as “(i)” and “(ii)”, respectively, and adding the following clause (b) immediately following the end thereof:

(b)    Successor Eurodollar Index.

(i)    If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (A)(1) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.14(a) have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (2) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.14(a) have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), or (B) a rate other than the Adjusted LIBO Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld) choose a replacement index for the Adjusted LIBO Rate and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, theall-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to theall-in Eurodollar-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.

(ii)    The Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent (and as is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such amendment shall become effective

-4-

without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before such fifth (5th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.

(iii)    Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (A) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from an Eurodollar-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the Eurodollar rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the Eurodollar rate and the replacement index.

(iv)    Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 2.14(b) is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a Eurodollar Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate; provided however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

3.5    Article X of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Section 10.19 immediately following Section 10.18 thereof:

10.19     Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and

-5-

such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)    As used in thisSection 10.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC”has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
